lyrics

she wears a smile when she comes
a smile when she goes
in between she bears my company with kindness
and she’ll smile when she leaves
as she smiled as she arrived
for now
she stays awhile comfortably in the moment and says

i don’t like living in the real world
i escape and come to you
i can’t find my silence in the pale world
quietly i come to you
here I can be unreal as the truth

stocking feet pitter-pattering on carpeted staircase
in time we shall be brilliant
make the sunrise just for us
later sleeping on the sofa with the kittens and their dreams
she whispers without waking
her face hidden in her sleeve

i don’t like living in the real world
i escape and come to you
i can’t find my silence in the pale world
quietly i come to you
here I can be unreal as the truth

she has seven types of coffee
and a thousand books piled high
in her temple to the literate without hesitation writes
owls don’t have thumbs or jobs nor wonder why
nothing becomes everything
in the instant she decides

i don’t like living in the real world
i escape and come to you
i can’t find my silence in the pale world
quietly i come to you
here I can be unreal as the truth

i don’t like living in the real world
i escape and come to you
i can’t find my silence in the pale world
quietly i come to you
here I can be unreal as the truth
